Great adoption wear

Forum friends,

I haven't posted much since we got back with our girls in January 2005, but I wanted to let you know about a great little shop that promotes adoption and sells adoption wear. (I am in no way connected to this shop. I just wanted to share.)

A trendy, new maternity shop in our town just opened. Not only do they sell fun maternity and baby items -- they also sell cool adoption wear. I just stopped in the store today and bought an "Adoption Rocks" thermal tshirt. They have others with a little stork that say "Expecting from Central America" or South America or Asia. They are very cool. The store is called Urban Belly. They have a website by the same name (.com) and the adoption wear is available online.

I met the owner today only to find out that they are presently in the process of adopting from Guatemala.

Anyway, they will be coming out with new adoption items soon that say "Celebrate Adoption".

If you interested - take a look at the website. You can pm me for more information.

Happy shopping!

~Sara

thanks!

Thanks for the information. I will check it out. I feel like the more adoption is out there the more educated people will become.

Wow! Thanks for the neat website...

I'll have to take a look at it and see what they have.

Sounds unique and like a fun store.

Thanks for sharing the info.
